Extracted Netlist Simulation Speedup?

MMueller
MMueller over 8 years ago

Hi,

I have a config view with verilog on top and an av_extracted view as an instance in it. I am using the UNL flow out of ADE Assembler (using newest tool versions).

The av_extracted cellview is about 200MB in library manager...and the "netlisting" (the time when simulation is started from ADE until irun is called) takes about 7 hours!

When i netlist only the av_extracted with ADE L (not using UNL) it takes about 10 seconds...Is there a possibility to speed up the "netlisting" of the extraced view from ADE Assembler in UNL flow? What happens during this time?!

I am already using

envSetVal("adexl.test" "checkForNewCellviewVarsUponRun" 'cyclic "No")  
envSetVal("adexl.test" "checkForUnsavedViewsUponRun" 'boolean nil)
envSetVal("adexl.gui" "disableConstraintsRead" 'boolean t)

as suggested....

Best regards,

Markus

    Hi, Markus,

    I also have the same issue, it seems only one core can be used during netlist.
